Have you ever heard of Xelion? No, it’s not the arch nemesis of some intergalactic super hero who’s come to wreak havoc on mankind; it’s actually a nano-carbon elastic compound designed to absorb impacts. Still sounds pretty out there. Here’s Kali Protectives with the science bit…
Kali Protectives is pleased to debut our all new line of armor. Two new offerings for 2018, dubbed the Mission and Strike, will be available for both knees and elbow.
Strike
There is no room for error when the trail gets technical. Our Strike armor features Xelion padding for high impact protection, and EVA padding in critical support areas. Strike armor is available for both elbows and knees.
Xelion – Advanced Protection Technology
The main protective pad of the Strike armor is made of Xelion, an advanced nano-carbon elastic compound. It absorbs impact energy by instantaneously converting it into heat, which is then dissipated across the entire pad. It is so efficient at dissipating energy, it can be molded into very low-profile perforated designs without sacrificing protection. Xelion also remains effective at extreme temperatures compared to NBR, TPR, or PU foams, ensuring flexibility and protection in even the harshest riding conditions.
